perf: connectivity performance improvement #172

Closed geolffreym closed 4 months ago

geolffreym commented 1 year ago

We have a problem of interoperability between web <=> desktop. Since web cannot connect direct with TCP some extra "proxy steps" are needed to achieve interoperability between both envs in the current approach. We can favor interoperability using exclusive js-ipfs (waiting for orbit to support helia)

These proxy steps are already well know ? I can't find what needed ?

geolffreym commented 1 year ago

Currently our proxy (eg. nginx) opens a websocket connection and redirects wss:// connections coming from the web environments, to an IPFS node, this node is connected to an orbitdb instance that keeps a copy of the metadata "pinned". Let's say it's something like a kind of mirroring, which we think is centralized and doesn't scale.
